Genius, huh?

The only thing I see is some loser who is desperate for attention.

[mansbestend]

OK.

Wanna fight or you just writing to cope?

[blue_eyed_obsession]

... Or maybe you really are just a Neanderthal.

If you're looking for a sparing partner I would think there were more efficient ways of going about finding one.

[mansbestend]

a what now?

eh maybe. im not a spar kinda guy. i'd be at an arcade now or sumthin if it were up to me.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

That just serves to prove my point. I'm not going to give you a history lesson, try picking up a book sometime.

Then.. why? Ugh, why am I trying to make any sense out of this?

[Still, the thought of an arcade sparked some interest]

Are you any good at video games?

[mansbestend]

i think im OK. Power's been my only opponent but shes a breeze to kick around in Street Fighter

i learned from others that tons of consoles exist and man i got some catchin up to do. im only at the super famicom.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

You're just.. ok. What a disappointment. I was hoping for someone who might present a challenge.

Not that this place is any more advanced than your dimension, in fact.. it's worse.

[Before Kaiba was the obnoxious game designer/duelist that he is... he was also a huge video game nerd. If you went to an arcade and wondered who was holding the top slot on all the machines, it was him. At least in his universe.]

video games are fun but i dont get to play em much with work and school.

is bein good at video games that big of a deal where you're from?

Rule #1: Exist

[blue_eyed_obsession]

Did you just say.. video games are fun?

[There wasn't anything wrong with his vision, so posing the question was merely to highlight the audacity of the claim.]

They're much more than that, when built correctly. The ultimate test of dexterity, reflexes, and mental acuity. They sharpen the senses, and push you to new limits.

[Only serious gamers need apply...]

[mansbestend]

ohhhh ok

you're one of those huge gamer nerds!

talk to flowey, he's also a nerd and can use his roots to push the buttons.

[Although Denji couldn't see it, Kaiba facepalmed so hard at what he was reading]

Now, we're getting to the portion of our conversation where I'm tempted to take you up on your initial offer..

[Not that physical violence was generally Kaiba's go to, but the setup was right there, and he had to take it. Sure, he could.. and had defended himself in the past but generally he just crushed people financially or via games]

Roots....? Do I even want to know what you're talking about?

[mansbestend]

Flowey is a flower but he talks and moves and stuff. He's a giant nerd about video games too.

He ran a game a few thousand times or sumthin like that, so he probably knows all the combos in a buncha games.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

Is this an imaginary friend, or can other people see him too?

[Lunatic.... everyone here is a lunatic]

[mansbestend]

nah he's real, we had noodles the other day.

who imagines friends? that's a little kid thing, right?

[blue_eyed_obsession]

A plant that eats noodles? Now I've heard everything.

Pathetic losers.. which is why I asked you in the first place.

[mansbestend]

Crazy rite? ive seen weird shit but this place took the whole cake bowl

nuthin wrong with imagination. i had a friend growin up tho

[blue_eyed_obsession]

Funny, I don't recall asking about your childhood.

Not surprised that it was only one, however.

[mansbestend]

but you kinda did tho

wanna know my blood type and what i like in a date too? since you seem pretty interested in me n all
